There are a few aspects of it that the MSM hasn’t covered.

President Bush’s SOTU, he said he would put an end to Human Trafficking. He first brought up amnesty here:

BUSH ADMINISTRATION HOSTS FIRST NATIONAL TRAINING CONFERENCE TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING

President George W. Bush And Attorney General John Ashcroft Address Conference

TAMPA - Today, President Bush joined Attorney General Ashcroft and other senior Bush Administration officials at the first-ever national training conference on human trafficking: Human Trafficking into the United States: Rescuing Women and Children from Slavery. Hosted by the Justice Department, the conference brought together over 500 attendees, comprised of the hundreds of state, local and federal officials who work together to combat human trafficking in communities across America. Trafficking in persons, a modern day form of slavery, is a serious problem in the United States and throughout the world. Each year, an estimated 600,000-800,000 men, women, and children are trafficked against their will across international borders. Of those, 14,500-17,500 are trafficked into America. Victims are forced into prostitution, or to work in sweatshops, quarries, as domestic labor, or child soldiers, and in many forms of involuntary servitude.

Throughout the past three years, the Bush Administration has taken strong steps to combat trafficking at home and abroad. Today at the conference, the Bush Administration announced new steps and resources to combat human trafficking. These initiatives include $14 million to law enforcement to help human trafficking victims, $4.5 million for organizations to assist victims, new interagency cooperation to ensure the timely delivery of benefits and services to victims, a model state law criminalizing human trafficking, new training resources, new task forces, as well as greatly increased investigations and prosecutions of human trafficking.

“From the very beginning of his Administration, President Bush has spoken forcefully and eloquently about the brutal crime of human trafficking,” said Attorney General John Ashcroft. “We will protect the victims, prosecute the perpetrators, and build partnerships to address, attack and prevent human trafficking. These steps send a clear message that America will repel aggressively assaults on our core values of freedom and respect for human dignity. We have had success in the past three years, but we understand that these efforts are only the beginning. It is critical that we work together to track down those who hide their barbaric businesses in the shadows, and to help their victims.”

In 2001, Bush also made the death penalty a federal law for death due to child rape.

Bush never said amnesty was for all illegal aliens. But the propaganda screams that.

And, if any of these victims: http://www.humantrafficking.com/humantrafficking/features_ht3/Testimonies/testimonies_mainframe.htm were given USA Citizen protection, I wonder how many customers and bosses they could testify against.

Just a thought.

I don’t know the date on the document you posted, but I thought that Pres Bush first brought up some form of amnesty in 2001 when he and Vicente Fox spoke on the House floor about it. When September 11th happened he dropped the subject for a few years. I thought then that he had forgotten the amnesty foolishness.

Here's another thought...

From the CIA Fact Book on Mexico:

"Trafficking in persons: Definition Field Listing current situation: Mexico is a source, transit, and destination country for persons trafficked for sexual exploitation and labor; while the vast majority of victims are Central Americans trafficked along Mexico's southern border, other source regions include South America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia; women and children are trafficked from rural regions to urban centers and tourist areas for sexual exploitation, often through fraudulent offers of employment or through threats of physical violence; the Mexican trafficking problem is often conflated with alien smuggling, and frequently the same criminal networks are involved; pervasive corruption among state and local law enforcement often impedes investigations tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Mexico remains on the Tier 2 Watch List for the third consecutive year based on future commitments to undertake additional efforts in prosecution, protection, and prevention of trafficking in persons, and the failure of the government to provide critical law enforcement data."

Jorge's Mexican pals are the chief source of human-traffic in this hemisphere and, as the CIA notes, the Mexicans fail to "provide critical law enforcement data", which means that they are resisting our LEO efforts to stop it.

“Bush never said amnesty was for all illegal aliens. But the propaganda screams that.”

Bush says a lot of things. On immigration, his words are about as honest as Bill Clinton.
YES, AMNESTY IS FOR ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS BECAUSE THEY INTEND TO DEPORT APPROXIMATELY ZERO ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Amnesty is even given to criminal aliens. You can commit multiple misdemeanors andhave court ordered deportations against you and still be given US citizenship. And when Sen Cornyn tried to stop it, the pro-amnesty Senators stopped his amendment.

Deportation is nearly impossible.

The bush administration refuses to enforce the law in the workplace and at the border.

THE IDEA THAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING WILL BE LESSENED AFTER REWARDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND ITS ENABLERS SO MASSIVELY, IS, WELL, ABSURD.
